investigation in the irs scandal. >> the treasury inspector general's report says ineffective management allowed agents to improperly scrutinize tea party groups. >> president obama calls the findings intolerable and inexcusable. >> why didn't you tell the truth when you were asked directly by congress? >> we'll talk on friday, guys. yet another military officer is accused of sexual assault crimes. >> in fort hood a sergeant first class under investigation for pandering abusive sexual conduct, assault, and maltreatment of subordinates. >> holder can expect tough questions on capitol hill today about the justice department's review of associated press phone records. >> holder admitted it was part of an investigation into what he called a, quote, grave national security leak. >> it put the american people at risk and that is not hyperbole. the navy has launched its first unmanned aircraft from an aircraft carrier. >> the evolution of the drone program. a wildfire is burning in northwest wisconsin. firefighters are trying to

contain it. >> people's houses are burning down. >> prince harry's visit to the u.s., yesterday he visited a youth baseball game in harlem. >> showing up. the kids all thought you were -- i had to explain. >> officials in belize say a construction company was caught ripping apart a mayan pyramid to make roads. >> the mayans? not the end of the world. >> some republicans are saying due to the current scandals president obama should be impeached. in response obama laughed and said, two words, fellows. president biden. yeah. this morning's eye opener is presented by prudential. welcome to "cbs this morning." good morning. >> wow. the white house is facing a lot of questions on a number of different stories.

>> we begin with this. the internal revenue service is now under criminal investigation. attorney general eric holder has called in the fbi. holder could be grilled over the scandal today. he is testifying before the house judiciary committee. >> and this morning a "usa today" analysis finds that while the irs was putting a hold on all tea party applications, a similar number of liberal groups were granted nonprofit status. we'll go to capitol hill. nancy, good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you and our viewers in the west. the headache only grows for the irs. members of congress are going to spend the day poring through the new 50-page report from the treasury department the result of a months long investigation into the inappropriate targeting of tea party groups. the irs commissioner steven miller would not answer questions tuesday after a private meeting with the senate finance chairman. >> why didn't you tell the truth when you were asked directly by congress? >> we'll talk on friday, guys. >> reporter: friday is when miller will testify before the

house ways and means committee, which oversees the irs. he can expect to get grilled about what treasury department investigators describe as ineffective management. their new report finds that inappropriate criteria were used to single out tea party groups for extra scrutiny. criteria that stayed in place for 18 months delaying some applications for tax-exempt status for up to three years. out of the nearly 300 cases flagged for special review, one in three were groups that included the words "tea party, 9-12 project, or patriots" in their title. the report also showed the irs requested unnecessary information. >> we say stop! >> like the names of donors and political affiliations. >> the fbi is coordinating with the justice department to see if any laws were broken. >> reporter: on tuesday the attorney general announced he had opened a criminal investigation into the matter and the white house was pressed on how much it knew. >> there was no knowledge here

at the white house. >> reporter: the inspector general report backs that up saying the decision to target tea party groups was made by front line managers and that no one outside the agency was consulted. in a new statement the irs admitted it used inappropriate shortcuts. but says the flaws were corrected last year and that there was no intent to hide this issue. ways and means chairman dave camp disagrees. >> i think probably the most troubling aspect is that the acting commissioners, when he knew about this, responded to the committee in writing that they weren't doing it. >> reporter: chairman camp wasn't ready to say whether he thinks that miller or anyone else should be punished or fired. he says he wants a chance to go through this report and to question miller at that hearing on friday. by the way, the irs knew that this report was coming out. that's why they finally came clean on friday. >> that sounds about right. nancy, thank you. attorney general holder is also expected to face pointed questions today about justice department subpoenas.

the government used them to get phone records from journalists at the associated press. bob, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, norah. the obama administration as you know has been very aggressive in going after leaks of classified information but as far as we know this is the broadest investigation we've seen so far and the associated press now is caught in the government's cross hairs. attorney general holder on tuesday strongly defended the justice department's seizure of ap phone records saying the leak of secret information to ap reporters created a national security threat. >> it put the american people at risk and that is not hyperbole. it put the american people at risk. >> reporter: federal prosecutors say the disclosure of classified information fueled a series of associated press stories in the spring of 2012 about the al qaeda affiliate in yemen. the ap broke details of a disrupted terror plot to bomb a u.s. airline and officials say that reporting compromised counterterrorism operations and

hindered the collection of intelligence about al qaeda in yemen. >> i have to say this is among if not the most serious it is within the top two or three most serious leaks that i've ever seen. >> reporter: federal prosecutors subpoenaed and seized call records from april and may, 2012, involving more than 20 ap phone lines. investigators say that was the last resort, noting they've also reviewed thousands of documents and conducted more than 550 interviews. in a statement the ap said that explanation was insufficient. rather than talk to us in advance, they seized these phone records in secret, saying that notifying us would compromise their investigation. on capitol hill, members of both parties are criticizing the justice department tactics. even top democrats are sounding the alarm. >> i don't know who did it or why it was done, but it's inexcusable. and there's no way to justify this. >> attorney general holder was one of those interviewed in the leak investigation so he has now recused himself from the overall

case, but he is certain to face tough questions on all of this at a congressional hearing that starts at 10:00 this morning pacific time. norah, charlie? >> thanks. senior correspondent john miller is here former deputy director of national intelligence. good morning. >> good morning. >> unjournalism. you know the government from inside out. make sense of this for us. i mean, when is national security a legitimate reason to do this and, if so, did the government this time do the right thing? >> all right. so let's take it from the government's perspective first because that's a fairly simple thing. here you have a terrorism case. the ap has a story. the government asked the ap to hold the story for a period of time and they do. then they go with the story. even at the time they go with the story the operation isn't finished. it's not all our operations. the brits were involved. there was an agent there. the agent was out of the danger zone but there were other things, including his debriefing, other targets, people involved in trying to blow aircraft out of the sky with people on it.

this family hadn't been moved. so from an intelligence standpoint and from an operations standpoint we've got probably our best friend in the world as a partner saying, can we at least get through this without it all being in the newspapers? it was dangerous. it was embarrassing. it was bad. so moving forward from that, in a normal case if i want to know who gave john smith classified information i get all of john smith's phones, e-mails, texts, i dump everything and sort through it until i find somebody that has that information. when it involves the media, the government has to do it backward. they have to look at all their own phones, all their own e-mails, and then get to the media outlet last. >> in fact, there are specific regulations that require subpoenas for reporters' records to be narrowly focused, right, and you have to use, exhaust other remedies. in past cases as you've explained the government goes to the reporter and they say, turn these over. why did they skip that step? >> i don't know, and that is in

the list, to negotiate with the news organization before they go to a subpoena. now, there is some investigative reason they skipped it. they knew they had to justify it. i don't know what that reason is but i believe the attorney general will be asked about it later today. >> let me ask you this. is there any reason the president would have known about this and authorized these searches of reporters' records? >> i don't think the president would -- i mean, in the normal case the president wouldn't have gotten into the weeds about what subpoenas would be issued and all that but this would be handled on the level of the attorney general. as we learned from bob it was handled on the level of the deputy. but they did, before they went to the ap, they did 500 interviews. they probably put people on polygraphs. they looked at all their phone records, blackberries, and so on. so to get to this place they really had to -- they had to sit down and make a decision. we're crossing the rubicon here. >> thank you. for the second time in as many weeks a member of the military who is supposed to stop sexual assaults is accused of

sexual misconduct. a sergeant first class at fort hood, texas now under investigation for abusive sexual contact. he had been responsible for handling sexual assault cases at the base. on tuesday, defense secretary chuck hagel ordered retraining and new screening for those who deal with sexual assault prevention. last week officer jeffrey krezinski who led the program for the air force was arrested, accused of groping a woman in a parking lot. for the first time ever, an unmanned drone took off from an aircraft carrier. it could revolutionize warfare. david martin was on the uss george h.w. bush for the maiden flight. >> reporter: responding to commands from a joy stick, the x-47-b moved into launch position. v.i.p.s from industry and the navy lined the rails. the x $47-b was about to attempt what had never been done before. the launch went off without a hitch. the u.s. navy entered a new era.

rear admiral ted branch commands carrier aircraft in the atlantic. >> it's a marker of a line between naval aviation as we've known it and the future of naval aviation with the launch of the 47-b. >> reporter: as the carrier aboard h.w. bush steamed into the wind off the coast of virginia the x-47-b now flying itself in response to computer commands, made two passes over the ship before returning to its base in maryland. it will attempt its first carrier landing sometime this summer, but the navy is already planning to put a small number of the stealth flight aircraft on each of its carriers starting as early as 2018. that would allow carriers to conduct air operations 24/7 while pilots of manned aircraft sleep. >> we could leave them airborne for a long period of time while the rest of the air wing is not flying, overnight, for example.

>> reporter: at first the x-47-b will be loaded with cameras to provide round-the-clock surveillance. but it can also hold 4500 pounds of weapons including an armed drone aboard an aircraft carrier would allow the navy to attack heavily defended targets without risking pilots' lives and operate anywhere in the world without the need to build. >> the only one who did not appreciate the launch was the x-47-b itself. just a machine doing what it's told with no idea it was flying off an aircraft carrier. for cbs reporting, this is david martin from aboard the george h.w. bush. and it was one month ago today that two pressure cooker bombs exploded near the finish line of the boston marathon. the explosions killed three people and wounded more than 260 others. police identified two brothers as suspects, tamerlan tsarnaev, who died in the shootout with police. a lawyer for his widow says she will continue to cooperate with

authorities. his brother remains in custody and this morning "the boston herald" reports all 13 boston deputy fire chiefs say they have no confidence in the fire chief and accuse him of failing to take control during the emergency. prince harry is wrapping up his week-long tour of the united states. yesterday he brought a badly needed boost to the jersey shore. today he is in greenwich, connecticut. >> reporter: good morning. to our viewers out west. after touring parts of new jersey devastated by superstorm sandy prince harry arrived in new york city where hundreds of adoring fans gathered just to catch a glimpse of him. in between his meetings with politicians and business leaders, the prince still had time for some fun. in true british fashion prince harry arrived in new york on a double decker bus for a reception more fit for a rock star than a royal.

the prince joined british prime minister david cameron at an event promoting trade with the uk. >> i thank the commissioner of new york for allowing that double decker bus to travel across manhattan because early on i spotted that the double decker bus was actually higher than the traffic light. >> reporter: later the prince attended a community baseball event in a new york city neighborhood of harlem. the prince reportedly told organizers he had never played baseball and received an on-the-spot batting lesson from the group's young members. >> i told him to do -- to take a step, keep the arms up and straight and bend your knees a little and then swing. >> reporter: cheered by onlookers the sports loving prince hit two balls into the outfield. at a fundraiser later that night the prince spoke about his passion for sports. >> i visited the project in harlem this afternoon as you already heard and not many of these young people whose lives

are being changed through the power of sports, they represent living proof of what can be achieved. it was truly uplifting. >> reporter: earlier in the day the prince was in new jersey touring parts of the state that had been devastated by superstorm sandy more than six months ago. joined by new jersey governor chris christie, the prince viewed destroyed homes, walked on a rebuilt boardwalk, and spoke with emergency responders and local residents. the jersey shore's resilience earned royal praise. >> the american spirit. getting it together and making things right. >> reporter: governor christie by the way is famous for his post sandy uniform of a blue fleece and tweeted this picture showing the governor presenting prince harry with his own royal fleece. later today the prince will wrap up his tour with a polo match here in connecticut. charlie, norah? >> thank you. >> the new, slimmer governor of new jersey. >> apparently lost 40 pounds and

now prince harry can have that same fleece. we should mention prince harry's visit coincided with the beginning of demolition for a jersey shore icon. the jet star rollercoaster an amusement in seaside heights, yesterday workers began tearing down the remains placing them on a barge. a section of the coaster will be saved and put on the rebuilt pier which will have a new ride called the superstorm. for decades doctors have told patients with high blood pressure to cut down on salt. but a new medical study finds no evidence it does any good. the institute of medicine says most americans should eat a little less salt but researchers say cutting out too much salt can actually hurt patients who have heart failure. this is one of those medical stories people get confused about. like what? i'm supposed to cut salt and then there is a new study that says it doesn't matter. >> like caffeine. you never know. so many reports coming out. >> exactly. everything in moderation, right?

>> most things in moderation. it is time to show you some of the morning's headlines from around the globe. the "new york times" looks at one of the apparel companies in the bangladesh factory collapse. it was making clothes for walmart more than 1100 people were killed. yesterday walmart announced it will install new safety measures at the nearly 300 factories it uses in the country but the discount retailer will not sign a safety plan approved by european companies. "usa today" says the deficit is shrinking. a $240 billion deficit is predicted for this fiscal year down $200 million from an estimate in february. it is the smallest number since 2008. we've been running trillion dollar deficits for years. this is interesting. the chicago tribune says the nation's airlines collected nearly $3.5 billion in baggage fees last year. they also made more than $2.5 billion from changes in reservations.

the industry made a profit solely because of the fees. "the wall street journal" says cardinal sean o'malley will skip this year's graduation ceremony in boston college. he traditionally delivers the blessing. but o'malley will not attend because he objects to another speaker. the prime minister of ireland. he supports legislation in ireland that would permit abort the mother. and the los angeles times says hip hop star dr. dray and music mogel adine will announce today they are donating $70 million to the university of southern california. the money will go toward a new academy. it will help student to all right. we're starting to see that breeze picking up around the bay area. a few clouds floating overhead too today but we are going to see a lot of sunshine. i think the winds will be the big story especially in the afternoon. mount vaca cam looking good. a few high clouds there. we have a weak weather system headed toward the bay area. that will bring with it more clouds by the afternoon.

there is a new twist from russia in the alleged spying case. russia claims this morning another american was kicked out of the country in january. >> that word comes after a diplomat ryan fogle was ordered to leave. russia claims he was involved in a botched espionage operation. we'll go to london this morning. >> reporter: good morning. we called the u.s. embassy in moscow this morning. predictably they had no comment. the russian media is having a field day with what at any rate is an embarrassing incident for the u.s. with that shaggy blonde wig and off kilter baseball cap it's little wonder the main question most people are asking is, seriously? russian intelligence officials insist they caught ryan fogle a u.s. embassy worker red handed trying to recruit a russian spy in a park. the fsb previously the kbg showed off a spy kit that looks more like props from an old cold war thriller and not a very good

one. two floppy wigs, a couple pairs of sunglasses, bundles of cash, a map, and a compass. what kind of spy carries a letter offering a million dollars for cooperation? the last major spying embarrassment came at the russians' expense when u.s. authorities busted agents living in the u.s. for a decade most notably anna chapman who launched a modeling career after being deported. and the british government was forced to come clean on 2006 accusations that it spied. the recent arrest comes at a time when u.s. and russian agents have been working together in the investigation over the boston bombings. this morning the russian foreign ministry summoned u.s. ambassador michael mccall to discuss that investigation and the spying accusations. like most american officials, he avoided any questions about the arrest. >> this gentleman has been sent home or is in the process of being sent home. we can expect probably a tit for

tat expulsion from the russian embassy in washington and any installation of that ends up being costly for both sides. in these sorts of situations countries tend to try to limit the damage. >> damage limitation may be the reason why nobody wants to address whether this is a case of real espionage or a setup. the russian president vladimir putin has long said american spies were working to undermine him. today his spokesman called the incident regrettable but threatened no further action. >> it is a strange case isn't it? if it's a bad espionage it is also a bad setup because of the things they use. have a picture. apparently, american spies are using $5 wigs now, compasses and old knee knokia phones. bad american spy or setup by russian government. we'll stay on it, as they say.

now to the other big story. angelina jolie's partner, brad pitt, says the last few months have been beautifully inspiring. he spoke with "usa today" after jolie revealed she had a pre-emptive double mast he couldmy. pitt says, i'm quite emotional about it, of course. >> jolie's mother died of cancer when she was 56. in 2011 she told correspondent bob simon she wants to be there for her children. here's a look at their conversation from "60 minutes overtime" which you can find online. >> i would love to live a long life. my mother didn't live a long life. i'd like to be there with my kids as they become adults and beyond, you know, drive them from place to place as they go on first auditions for whatever job their trying to get and thing they're trying to do. there's just other things. >> with us now, dr. alisa port, she runs the breast center here

at mt. sinai hospital. good morning. >> good morning. >> what do you find most interesting about this story? >> i think it's most interesting is that a woman of her stature has decided to do this. to be honest with you, happens in my office all the time in privacy but it shows us how far reconstructive options have come. that a woman who clearly makes her living off of her looks and her talent and so forth, is willing to do this kind of thing for life-saving measures knowing she's going to get a very reasonable cosmetic result. >> what are those options? >> the options for brca testing or options for women who have tested positive for brca, actually it's interesting for her, are not so many. there really is very little -- very few options for prevention of breast cancer, so either women decide to have this very, very life-changing surgery in some ways or they opt for surveillance. >> that's interesting you say that because if you have the

brca-i or brca-ii you say very few options because 90% likelihood they're going to get breast cancer at some point. >> yes. this is a very, very selected group of women. it doesn't apply to the general population. the whole concept of running out to get tested doesn't apply to most women other than those for whom they have a very, very strong haem history of breast or ovarian cancer. of women who test positive for brca mutations, either i or ii, about half or just under half, choose to undergo the surgery. but remember, life is long. and they may not make the decision at the time they learn of the mutations. >> how much do you think you'll see an uptick now?

is the phone going to be ringing off the hook now or those who have been tested say, now that she's done, it have i more confidence to go through with this? >> i think for the group of women who have tested positive and who are on the fence about what to do and when to do it, it may push them to do that. i think -- >> go ahead. >> no, i think in terms of getting tested, there is no question that when someone reads a story like this, they wonder, how does this apply to me? and the important point is that for most women, it probably doesn't. i do think it's important to raise awareness so that if a woman is living with a strong family history knowing breast and ovarian cancer, then to put this on the radar and say, i should look into this more. >> to my point, aren't the options for reconstruction much better today than they've ever been? >> absolutely. there are a lot of different options for reconstruction. it's done with implants.

it's done with taking one's own tissue, typically from the abdomen and transferring it up to the breast. plastic surgeons have gotten tremendously sophisticated in terms of lots of options, where to make the incision, to make it less prominent,ha lot of options of saving the nipple, not saving the nipple. these are all individualized on a case by case basis to give her the best result. >> thank you. >> great to see you. donald trump was in court yesterday being sued by an elderly woman. she bought two condos in his scottsdale skyscraper. and on the witness stand, it's all about trump. >> reporter: the billionaire real estate developer expressed confidence as he came to federal court in chicago. >> i think it's going very well. >> reporter: donald trump is accused of a bait and switch scheme involving this

skyscraper. she says the trump organization tricked her into buying a pair of $1 million condos by promising profit sharing and then reneging on the deal. her lawsuit claims false, misleading, deceptive and/or misrepresentative statements constituted unfair or deceptive practices. trump and his lawyers deny it. >> we view this as -- >> reporter: a spokesman says trump chose to testify in the case so the jury could hear his side. some say it's just another opportunity for the donald to boost his brand. >> his whole business plan is publicity. so, if he testifies in court in chicago against an 87-year-old woman, that gets publicity. and he likes that. >> reporter: trump's extravagant lifestyle, tv show and outspoken manner seem to be serving the same purpose. >> you say cock-eyed things. we don't know if you mean them

the national transportation safety board wants to cut down on drunk driving. it's recommending states lower blood alcohol limit by half. that's the law in more than 100 nations but in this country the idea is already hitting roadblocks. >> the ntsb says the new guideline could cut back on 10,000 traffic deaths every year. not everyone is convinced. they say the threshold for drunk driving should be lowered significantly across the country from point 0.08 to 0.05. >> almost 20,000 fatalities with drivers with a bac to 0.07. >> the move to 0.08 came under clinton's administration. but authorities say that's not enough. fatalities still at 30% with nearly 440,000 deaths due

you're doing. the other side of the coin is, dogs don't bark at parked cards. if you do something, somebody may not like it. if you don't like that fact, then you better not do anything. >> a couple of questions. one, why didn't you go to president bush's dedication of the library? >> i went to a wedding in florida of a third generation high school classmate's granddaughter that's been very close. >> because everybody else was there. >> it was a terrific party. cheney told me it was a great party. >> in no way a rebuck of the president. >> no. you have been in washington many, many years. what does it feel like to you, because the president is getting a lot of criticism, to debunk the notion that somehow the press doesn't criticize democrats, but the atmosphere, what does it feel? >> they're in crisis mode, there's no question about that. and they're still in a mode --

i worry about it, to be honest. i'm not there and i'm out of date, but when i was in office we had something like 23,000 people in afghanistan. president obama has at the peak 100,000. and you worry about what the role is and what we're trying to do. because i just don't believe our country is capable of building other nations. they have different cultures, different histories, different neighbors, different problems -- >> is that what we learned in iraq? >> well, i think we've learned it both places. yeah, i think once you get mission creep and go from attempting to change your regime and get the taliban out to staying and building a new nation, you make a mistake. >> we have to end it there, secretary. great to have you here. we have the ladies of "the talk" coming up. we saw you in there chatting with them. >> they're terrific. they really are. >> may i mention your book one more time?

>> let's turn to barbara walters retiring this week. announcing she's going to retire next year. 50 years in tv and also one of the leaders in daytime tv, just like you guys. what do you think about that? >> well, she paved the way for all of us. this woman, we all bow down to. >> that's true. the table. >> every female broadcaster. >> she was such a role model. and she's not going away, though. that's the one good thing. she's still going to be active in this industry, but just not in front of the camera. >> that's very true, guys, but wasn't there a little teeny part of you, sheryl, doing the happy dance because it opens up -- it really does, it opens up more for "the talk," i think. listen -- >> we all did the happy dance because it shows me when you get to that age you can still retire, go party, have a good

time. so, barbara, call me, i go to the club with you. >> look at that ring. you look like you're going clubbing this morning. >> you know, charlie, you know. >> charlie gave you that? >> yeah. >> your engagement ring. >> yes. >> charlie, go big or go home. >> there you go. >> you know what, nobody -- there is nobody that you could name that has the experience that barbara had. >> you're right. >> i think she should not retire. there were these rumors. i'm like, how could she do that? she could keep doing the job. she's not in the field. her opinions -- like you said, she's a singular person, her invaluable experience gives her the perspective no one else has. >> could i do a speed round with you? you do one, i'll do one. your third season. who is most likely to be late?

>> sharon. >> who is most likely -- >> okay. >> who is most likely to give good advice? >> julie. >> most likely to say something embarrassing? >> sharon. >> you know what, i'm going to say sheryl. >> no, sharon. sharon does not care. >> most likely to be neurotic? >> aisha. >> oh, really? >> well -- >> you look so sweet. >> thank you. i am so -- i'm ocd, i'm hand washy, obsessive -- >> she's a professional pen organizer. >> sara pushes it over. >> least likely to pay attention? >> sharon. >> tie. tie. >> tie. >> well, we're excited to come on your show today. thank you. >> yea. we're excited to have you. >> it will be great. >> you're as excited as we are. >> we'll turn the tables.

>> how about her animal print today? >> and your haircut. >> yes, it's the summer do. >> it's beautiful. >> we'll see you guys in a couple hours. thank you. thank you for getting up early. >> thank you. >> you can watch "the talk" weekday afternoons at 2:00 eastern/1 central and pacific right here on cbs. did we mention, they'll be in new york all week long. how who are you most excited to talk to in new york? >> you. >> lucy liu. >> how about old fashioned -- >> asian represents. >> he's called the engineer of fear, the godfather of gravity and this is his office. we're hanging out with america's top roller coaster architect. that story coming up on "cbs this morning." ,,

(horn blowing) coming! mom, come on.

mom! because we know that this is the season that inspires. (sigh) from dressers to duvets, it's time to refresh with ikea. ya! >> we're on a ride new san antonio, texas. this morning, the view from aboard a brand new roller coaster opening memorial day weekend. why it means a trip back in time. >> reporter: for most people, riding a roller coaster doesn't involve a lot of thought. just a tight grip, nerves of

steel and a lot of screams. but these massive structures don't build themselves. they're often born far from amusement parks. deep in the imaginations of engineers, like larry chicola. as chief engineer for six flags empire, he juggled the law of physics, mathematical and performance to produce something unscientific. >> my job is to make people happy and scream while they're having fun. >> reporter: he's now regarded as a bit of a rock star in t roller coasters for his knack to coming up to something new, which goes back to something very old. >> the history of roller coasters is ramped up in wooden roller coasters. everybody knows the look, it's very iconic. saving that, that's a great part of the ride. we're 170 feet in the air. >> reporter: now we're going to

drop? >> drop down 79 degrees. >> reporter: larry and his team did just that at six flags in tewhupdated tl-wood texas giant it into the world's first hybrid coaster. >> it takes the old structure, which is still in good shape, put a new track on it. the steel i-box track on the ride lets us put in elements that are more exciting, steeper drops, over bank turns. >> reporter: where exactly are we going? >> we're going up to the top of the rattler. >> reporter: now he intends to outdo himself. taking the hybrid technology he perfected on the giant and applying it to the 180-foot tall iron rattler at six flags f fiesta. >> we can do things that we definitely cannot do with wood.

>> reporter: like a zero g barrel roll, making this the first coaster to turn people completely upside down. to make it he uses calculators and drafting tools. he also straps on climbing gear and harnesses. no fear of heights? >> i have a healthy respect of heights. >> reporter: he insists on personally inspecting all of his new rides. >> 180 feet down there. >> reporter: and sometimes there's only one way to do that. >> roped! >> reporter: to guarantee the ride's safety, its creator takes a few risks. >> okay. i'm over. >> reporter: now it's my turn? >> now it's your turn. >> reporter: oh. all right, well -- >> now, slowly lean back. let go with that hand up there. >> reporter: now that the hard part is over, it's time to go to work. >> part of the construction process is doing some inspections. so, we're going to drop down in a tough to get to part of the

ride and take a look at some of the older wood, a little bit of the new construction, and make sure everything looks good. so, we're checking to make sure all the bolts are in place. we're looking to see if anything has been tightened, if there's anything out of position. i love this because i get to do things like this. i get to build big things. that was one thing i really wanted to do. i wanted to build something that had a scale, you know, a really large scale. and people love it. and they scream. >> reporter: do you feel kind of like a kid sometimes? >> that is one of the great parts of the job is i get to be a kid. kids love what i do, too. >> reporter: who says mathematicians don't have any fun? for "cbs this morning," san antonio. >> looks like fun to me, don't you think? >> not to me. i'll cheer you on. i think manuel just gave his mom a heart attack. your son is fine. both of you guys want to do that? not me. >> yes. >> back to our earlier conversation about all things

moderate. >> i correct myself. not everything in moderation. there are some,,

good morning. it's a rough commute in a lot of spots. look at the bumper-to-bumper northbound 101 approaching fair oaks in sunnyvale. the accident is cleared but the delays, speeds below 25 miles per hour, beyond the 280 interchange and it's also impacting the westbound 237 ride pretty much bumper-to- bumper again from one side of milpitas all the way towards sunnyvale and just another note, that southbound 880 ride is kind of a mess still from union city all the way down into san jose. captions by: caption colorado comments@captioncolorado.com
